Kamikaze

These are pictures of the aftermath of a kamikaze attack. My father told of one time a kamikaze plane crashed into their runway, doing no damage. They went out and put out the fire and found a young girl, probably about 16, had been chained to the pilot's seat and had been forced to carry out her mission. She died in the crash.

Arming the planes

Bombs and shells being loaded into the planes. If you look at the first two pictures there is writing on the bomb, with a very obvious "Tojo" written on it. This is probably a greeting to Hideki Tojo, the Prime Minister of Japan throughout WWII, and the one who ordered the attack on Pearl Harbor. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hideki_Tojo
